Bilsy loved LEGO as a kid, but it wasn’t until he was in his mid 20s when his love for LEGO began to unravel.
It was the premature birth of Kale’s son six years ago that reignited his interest in building. He turned to LEGO to help him cope with the stress of spending hours feeling helpless in the hospital – it wasn’t long before he was hooked to the brick.
Melbourne-based Kale even makes a living from his passion for LEGO, noting his job title as “brick artist and toy photographer”: building LEGO creations and taking detailed photographs which he sells as collectables – check out Frostbricks to find out more!
Gold Coast radio announcer and DJ Bilsy is the entertainer of the pair. He loves to entertain and convert real-world electrical objects into LEGO in his spare time.
Bilsy has a dedicated LEGO room at home, plus two built-in cupboards and half a garage full of LEGO. Estimating that his LEGO collection is nudging a staggering one million bricks, father-of-two Kale is well known among the LEGO community after winning awards and featuring in industry publications. He recently achieved the honour of one of his original creations garnering 10,000 public votes and thus being considered by LEGO for potential release as an official set.
Bilsy has undergone drastic changes in his life, the father to a newborn daughter had gastric sleeve surgery for weight loss and shed 65 kilos. In what he describes as his biggest battle, Bilsy hopes his story can inspire others.
Their different styles and personalities might make these two the odd couple of LEGO MASTERS, but their combination should definitely put the competition on notice. Watch out, these two are in it to win it!
